Take a Tour of 5 Beautiful Toronto Restaurants

Kiin

The newest dining experience from restaurateur couple Jeff and Nuit Regular, Kiin showcases the regional diversity and royal cuisine of Thailand in a casual-fine atmosphere.

Kiin’s design by was inspired by Chef Nuit’s experience growing up in Phrae, Thailand, where she spent her high school years in a colorful, colonial-style building and developed a fascination with the rich details of the Royal Palace.

Designed by Katherine Gudov of Steven Fong Architect, the 35-seat restaurant features marble floors, stained-glass shutters, framed photos of the Thai royal family, plush velvet furnishings and pink doors with crystal knobs.

Light fixtures hang from intricately carved medallions similar to ones found at a temple in Nuit’s hometown. Potted plants add a tropical element to the space.
